Every ROC form, register and deadline your company owes each year — AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3 and the AGM calendar — handled for one fixed annual fee.
Starts at ₹11,999 per year + govt fees · fixed, no per-form billing
Annual compliance is the set of filings and records every private limited company must complete each year under the Companies Act, 2013 — regardless of turnover, even at zero revenue. The core calendar: an AGM within six months of year-end, financial statements filed in AOC-4 within 30 days of the AGM, the annual return in MGT-7A within 60 days, DIR-3 KYC for every director by 30 September, and DPT-3 for loans and advances by 30 June. FilingBase manages the entire calendar from ₹11,999 a year.
The stakes are disproportionate to the effort. Late AOC-4 or MGT-7A accrues ₹100 per day per form with no upper cap. Directors of a company that skips filings for three consecutive years are disqualified for five years from every board they sit on — and the ROC has been striking off non-filing companies in bulk, freezing their bank accounts in the process.
Our model is simple: one fixed fee, a compliance manager who owns your calendar, board and AGM documentation prepared for signature, and the same live tracker you get on every FilingBase order.
AGM timing, board meetings, AOC-4, MGT-7A, DIR-3 KYC, DPT-3, MSME-1 — mapped to dates and chased by us, not remembered by you.
On-time filings keep DINs active and directors clear of Section 164(2) disqualification — the career risk founders underrate.
Notices, minutes, resolutions and statutory registers drafted properly — what due-diligence teams actually open first.
One annual price for the standard calendar. Event-based filings (director changes, capital increases) quoted separately, never smuggled in.
Every form’s status — prepared, signed, filed, approved — with SRNs visible, all year.
We work directly with your statutory auditor on schedules and signings so year-end doesn’t stall in email threads.
A specialist will map your situation to the right plan in one call.
We pull your MCA master data, verify past filings, flag anything overdue, and build your dated calendar for the year.
Loans, advances and deposits reported by 30 June. Most founders don’t know director loans count — we do.
Every DIN holder completes KYC by 30 September — miss it and the DIN deactivates with a ₹5,000 reactivation fee.
AGM held within 6 months of year-end; notice, directors’ report and minutes prepared by us, audit coordinated.
Financials within 30 days of AGM, annual return within 60 — filed, SRNs on your tracker, registers updated.

Event-based filings — director changes, office shifts, capital increases, share transfers — sit outside the annual calendar and are quoted per event.
The most common — and most expensive — misunderstanding among first-time founders: “the company didn’t do anything this year, so there’s nothing to file.” The Companies Act disagrees. A company with zero sales still must hold its AGM, prepare audited financials (yes, an audit of nothing), and file AOC-4 and MGT-7A. The ₹100/day meters run identically for dormant and active companies. For a company that has genuinely stopped, the clean exits are formal dormant status under Section 455 or strike-off — both cheaper than three years of accumulating late fees followed by director disqualification.
Second surprise: DIR-3 KYC is personal, not corporate. Every individual holding a DIN — including inactive co-founders who left years ago — must complete it by 30 September or their DIN deactivates. A deactivated DIN blocks every filing that needs that director’s signature, usually discovered at the worst moment.
Third: DPT-3 catches founder loans. Money you lent your own company — the most common startup financing there is — must be reported annually as an exempted deposit. Skipping it because “it’s my own money” is a genuine penalty risk under the deposit rules.
Finally, timing strategy: the AGM anchor date drives AOC-4 and MGT-7A. Holding the AGM early in September gives comfortable filing room before MCA’s portal-crunch season; we schedule clients deliberately to avoid the late-November scramble when the portal slows and CAs are triaging.
Annual compliance covers the recurring calendar. The moment your company changes shape — a director joins or exits, you move office, raise authorised capital for a funding round, or transfer shares — an event-based ROC filing comes due, usually within 30 days. Plan clients get these quoted upfront at member rates, with the same tracker.
Yes — AGM, audited financials, AOC-4 and MGT-7A apply to every company on the register, active or not. If the business is genuinely shelved, formal dormant status (Section 455) or strike-off are the correct cost-savers; ignoring filings is the expensive third option.
Our Essentials plan is ₹11,999/year in professional fees. MCA filing fees for AOC-4 and MGT-7A are modest (a few hundred rupees each for small companies, scaled to capital); DIR-3 KYC is free when on time. Budget roughly ₹13,000–₹15,000 all-in for a small, punctual company — versus ₹100/day/form when late.
A flat ₹100 per day per form, with no upper limit — a year’s delay on both forms is ₹73,000 in fees alone. Beyond money: three consecutive unfiled years disqualifies every director for five years (Section 164(2)) and puts the company on strike-off lists, which freezes bank accounts.
An annual identity confirmation for every DIN holder — every director, on every board, active or not — due 30 September. Missing it deactivates the DIN (₹5,000 to restore) and stalls any filing needing that director’s signature. Our plans include it for two directors; more are added at cost.
Audit must be performed by an independent statutory auditor — by law, the same firm handling your filings shouldn’t audit them. What we do: prepare audit-ready financials, coordinate the entire back-and-forth with your auditor (or introduce an independent one), and handle ADT-1. Audit fees are the auditor’s own, typically ₹10,000–₹25,000 for small companies.
Within six months of financial year end — 30 September for a March year-end — with no more than 15 months between AGMs. A first AGM gets nine months from the first year-end. We calendar it early in September so the AOC-4/MGT-7A clocks start with slack, not panic.
Almost certainly yes. DPT-3 reports money the company holds that isn’t share capital — including director and shareholder loans, the standard way founders fund early operations. It is due 30 June each year even when the amounts are exempt from deposit rules. It is the most-skipped form we see at onboarding.
Yes — this is routine work for us. We reconstruct accounts, coordinate pending audits, compute the accumulated additional fees honestly (they cannot be waived), file the backlog in the right order, and check director disqualification status before starting. The meter argues for starting this week, not next quarter.
LLPs have a lighter but equally unforgiving calendar — Form 11 by 30 May and Form 8 by 30 October, with the same ₹100/day late fee. See our LLP annual compliance plan.
